Detail Addict - Mazda Miata

This is our Silver Package exterior only. Customer came in with some sort of adhesive on the trunk. Some darn kids in his neighborhood did it, unfortunately.

It was rain pretty hard that day so no sunny pictures, sorry...

Waited for a gap between rain clouds and evaluated the paint








Off with the wash




After a good wash, we checked out the condition of the paint. It was BAD.





First off with the clay... Pretty bad, but didn't do too much on the adhesive stuff...


So we continue with the rest of the car and decided to come back to it later...


So faded!


Another look


Closer...


Single pass with G-2500 with Hydro Orange pad


Now back to the trunk and decided to go with G-1500 and Hydro Blue


Then finish it down with G-2500 and Hydro Orange


Then the entire car with G-3500, Carnauba Wax, using Hydro Red


Take a look at the trunk after all said and done!




Pretty good I have to say.


Sorry, it was raining outside at the time, so no outside/sun pics at all...
